Rosa candida

In Arnljótur's world, at twenty-two years old, it is about cuttings, grasses and especially his pride, the Rosa candida. One night, in a greenhouse, Arnljótur and Anna love each other, they barely know each other, yet their lives will be shaken forever because, in Iceland, girls are born in roses. Born in 1958 in Reykjavík, Audur Ava Ólafsdóttir is a professor of art history and director of the University of Iceland Museum. She is also the author of L'Embellie, L'Exception and Le Rouge vif de la rhubarbe.

So much delicacy on every page borders on the miracle of this Rosa candida, which we leaf through as if dreaming, but no. The Point Translated from Icelandic by Catherine Eyjólfsson.
